Who is the Aphrodite woman?  She is one who holds the ecstatic energy of the Goddess of Love in her heart. She is a magical, intoxicating woman whose sensuality encourages everyone around her to love life a little bit more, to dance a little bit more wildly, to laugh a little bit harder. She is the muse, the inspiration, the one who brings beauty and warmth to all things.  

But for so many centuries, Aphrodite Women have had to go into hiding. The joy, embodiment and earthy sensuality of the Aphrodite Women were shamed, outlawed and made dangerous…

 …and to stay safe in the world they learned to repress what they are. 

Today, us Aphrodite Women have hidden ourselves so well that some of us don’t remember our true natures.

 But there are always traces that peek through our disguises – truths that no amount of makeup or costume could cover, desires and feelings that are our map to remind us of who we are, tells that give away our secret ecstatic nature. 

So What are the hidden traits of aphrodite women? 

🌺 1. A Great Love For Beauty

An Aphrodite woman REVELS in beauty. An Aphrodite woman will feel out of sorts in an ugly environment, and will feel it’s very important to be surrounded by beautiful colours, objects and things she loves. She adores art – wether it’s gorgeous paintings, dances or haute couture – and secretly she knows there is no point in doing something unless it’s done beautifully. 

Sometimes she feels she is silly for caring about this stuff – after all, she’s been taught that caring how things look is vain and superficial – but she knows there is more to beauty than just how things look, it’s how things feel, and it’s so much deeper than the world at large will recognise. 

🌊 2. Big Feelings And Emotions

An Aphrodite woman feels deeply. They cry easily, and they smile even faster – their emotional capacity is carved both higher and deeper than regular folk, and although they can feel great sadness rip through them, they can also unfold to the bliss of ecstasy with ease too.  

The modern world is not made for and emotional Aphrodite women, and they often think they are wrong for their big feelings and watery nature. But this ocean of emotion within them connects them to their wild sorceress powers. Life flows through them with the rush of a mountain river, and they need to learn to be with and allow and accept their watery nature so it can become their greatest Aphroditic blessing.  

🌹3. Sensuality

Sensuality is just about experiencing the world through your senses of taste, touch, feeling, scent and sight, rather than just cerebrally, and Aphrodite women (wether they notice it or not) are ALWAYS sensual!  

Aphrodite women enjoy the hell out of good food and savour every bite. Their heart tells them to dance wildly to their favourite songs, stop to smell the roses and lilies and orange blossom trees they pass by, to sink with satisfaction into a silky bubble bath.

Life intoxicates Aphrodite women – and the more they awaken to their sensuality and indulge in the world around them, the happier they are.

❤️ 4. Absolutely in love with love.

An Aphrodite woman ADORES love. They definitely either have an old favourite romantic movie they turn to again and again, or secretly read trashy romance novels in the dead of night, or can think of nothing more delightful than spending a Sunday afternoon sighing over love poetry.

They love everything about love – the romance, the flirting, the kissing, the golden peace that seeps from your heart, the electric ecstatic excitement of being with the one you love.  What Aphrodite women often haven’t been taught is that love and romance is their birthright – it doesn’t belong to a partner, it’s their superpower and they can summon those feelings any time they like.

 💃 5. A Secret Thought that Maybe a Woman’s Body is Powerful

Maybe, just maybe, thinks the Aphrodite woman, this female body is powerful and beautiful exactly as it is. Some small secret part of her is in utter awe of what the female body can do, and if she has one, she has these tiny moments of really truly deeply appreciating her body – the feel of her duvet against her skin, the curve of her hips in her favourite jeans, how good it feels to move to her favourite music.  

She’s not happy with the message that female bodies are dirty and periods are gross and we need to be made more hairless and smooth to be acceptable – there’s a little rebellious part of her that knows her body was made to be enjoyed, not policed. 

🔥 6. Aphrodite Women are SEXY.

Aphrodite women are irresistibly drawn by sexiness because it is a mirror for their own magic. Growing up, they were obsessed with glamorous figures such as Jessica Rabbit and Morticia Addams (even if they couldn’t pinpoint why) and as an adult they love seeing other women being sexy and sexually expressed. They love to feel sexy! 

Now, this is often the most repressed of all the Aphrodite traits because female sexuality was deeply demonised by the ruling powers for centuries. Although some brave Aphrodites are working this talent with wild abandon, this is often the most unclaimed trait in modern Aphrodite women.  

It might be that an Aphrodite Woman who hasn’t yet given herself permission to claim this trait may dream of going to a burlesque shows (even if she hasn’t been to one yet – she’s entranced by the glamour) or sneakily watches movies with strippers in them. Perhaps she religiously watches dance shows like Strictly Come Dancing, fantasising that they could be the kind of person to rock an Argentinian tango or a pasa doble, or is mesmerised by glamorous icons such as Dita von Teese, and, yes, Kim Kardashian.  

Wether she celebrates her erotic fire or not, all Aphrodite women hold a certain special something that is often more visible to others than themselves – a certain freedom and wildness when they dance, a knowingness when they smile, a seductiveness of presence that is subtle and magnetic. 

When you realise the truth of who you are – that you are not wrong, or silly, or too much and are actually just here to run the energy and archetype of Aphrodite in the world, the Goddess who makes life beautiful and worth living – you can relax into yourself.

You can give all your Aphrodite Traits full approval and love… and they become your most magnetic superpowers.
